During these years, I have come to the conclusion that it is very hard to make people pay for your software.
It is easier however, to encourage them to pay, if you deliver good quality software.
I am a computer major student and iTunification is a fine open source software and
takes a lot of time to develop. Your support is the best way of making it better.

Enjoy your music even more, for free!
with iTunification

Important Note: iTunes 11.1 automatically sends notifications to OS X's notification center. On Mac OS X Mavericks, you will also get cover artworks in the notification center. Therefore, there is no point in using iTunification anymore. I will keep this page going for my own records. Thanks.

Overview

You don't have to switch to iTunes again. You can see your music right where you are.

When you play songs in iTunes or Spotify, iTunification gets the track's details and shows them in Mountain Lion's new Notification Center or Growl. Your choice!

GrowlTunes is a similar application with fewer features available on Mac Appstore for $1.99. iTunification is simply GrowlTunes + support for Spotify + some small enhancements.

Another similar application is called Now Playing. That application is basically a loop that checks the currently playing song every 1-2 seconds. iTunification in contrast, observes the OS X's native NSDistributedNotificationCenter. It has less overhead and much less resources are used in it.

iTunification only supports Mac OS X 10.8 and above since previous versions of OS X do not have a Notification Center.

1. I chose to hide status bar icon forever and I want it back. What can I do?
Open Finder. Press Cmd+Shift+G. Enter ~/Library/Preferences. Find com.onible.iTunification.plist and delete it. Use "Activity Monitor" to kill iTunification or restart your computer if you are not sure how to proceed with "Activity Monitor". Status bar icon will be back if you open iTunification again.

2. I have removed iTunification from my computer and I don't want it anymore. How can I remove it from "Notification Center" in "System Preferences"?
Open "Terminal". Enter the following command and press enter(return key). rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/NotificationCenter; killall usernoted;
